  • NSE chief executive Geoffrey Odundo said on Tuesday the bourse would train candidates for CISI examinations both on a full-time and part-time basis.

The Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE) can now train stockbrokers, investment banks, fund managers and investment advisers after the UK-based Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment (CISI) accredited it as a training partner.

The accreditation is expected to enhance growth and development of the capital markets industry in Kenya.

NSE chief executive Geoffrey Odundo said on Tuesday the bourse would train candidates for CISI examinations both on a full-time and part-time basis.

“This programme shall have an impact on business and employment growth, increase in products and services in the capital market and that the certification will form the basis of entry and continuing development into securities industry in the East African markets for participants, thus eventually achieving a borderless professional market,” he said.

Mr Odundo said the NSE would ensure all stakeholders develop the practical skills they need in the rapidly evolving financial markets.
